Physiologic parameters such as blood pressure, rectal temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate are an important part of the medical assessment of a patient. However, these factors can potentially be affected by stress. The purpose of this study was to compare physiologic parameter data gathered from cats in the home environment with those gathered in a veterinary hospital. Thirty healthy cats were evaluated both at home and at Colorado State University's Veterinary Medical Center. Doppler systolic blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate were recorded, and the differences between the values obtained in the home and veterinary clinic environments were evaluated using the Wilcoxon sign rank test. A significant difference was found in blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate between the home and veterinary hospital environments. This information may help practitioners recognize that physiologic abnormalities can sometimes be due to transportation or environmental stress rather than medical illness.
诸如血压、直肠温度、心率和呼吸频率等生理参数是对患者进行医学评估的重要组成部分。然而，这些因素可能会受到压力的潜在影响。本研究的目的是比较在家养环境中收集的猫的生理参数数据与在兽医医院收集的数据。对30只健康的猫在家中和科罗拉多州立大学兽医学院进行了评估。记录了多普勒收缩压、温度、心率和呼吸频率，并使用Wilcoxon符号秩检验评估在家中和兽医诊所环境中获得的值之间的差异。在家养环境和兽医医院环境之间，血压、心率和呼吸频率存在显著差异。这些信息可能有助于从业者认识到生理异常有时可能是由于运输或环境压力而非疾病所致。
